community?To have many different common names for one species.To organize species cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.To have a universal scientific naming system.To analyze species genetic information. - 4. Multiple ChoiceThe similarities in the human arm and bat wing indicates that they-May share a common ancestor.Are competitive with each otherEat the same foodsAre both birds.
- 5. Multiple ChoicePlants known as bluebells exist in England, Scotland, and the United States. In each of these locations, however, the plant known as a bluebell is very different from the plants called bluebells in the other two locations. Which principle does this problem best exemplify?The need for controlling variables in experimentsThe need for classifying and naming organisms scientificallyThe importance of predicting trends from scientific dataThe importance of questioning experimental evidence

plants, and flowering plants all have in common?Vascular tissuesSeed productionFlower productionAll developed at about the same time - 8. Multiple ChoiceThe illustration shows the structures of two unrelated species. Each have a similar function but are different in structure. This is an example of -Vestigial structuresCyclic structuresAnalogous structuresHomologous structures

Australia. Which of the following statements best describes this occurrence?These continents were once next to one another before the process of
continental drift separated them.Underwater tunnels once connected these continents.Ancient amphibians were able to swim long distances and cross oceans
that separated the continents.The same amphibians evolved separated in three different areas of the

organisms. The similarities in embryonic development shown in the diagrams suggest that these organisms -All undergo external development.May have evolved from a common ancestor.Are all members of the same species.Have adaptation for the same environment as adults. - 16. Multiple ChoiceCorrectly identify the kingdom whose members exhibit these traits: most are multicellular, eukaryotic, possess cell walls, do not perform photosynthesis, non-mobile representative organisms include mushrooms and mold.Kingdom ProtistaKingdom FungiKingdom PlantaeKingdom Eubacteria
